It's a Flashback/Prince of Persia style zombie game which has now been released on Steam (I know).
I thought, screw it, why not try it - it's Halloween so a perfect time to do so! Even though I couldn't be bothered to find my Xbox controller and used the keyboard (which is far from ideal for a game whose developers obviously only half-arsed the PC part) I must say it's quite enjoyable. It's more about evasion and jumping than it is combat which is refreshing - avoiding encounters is the best way to avoid getting killed for sure. In typical Another World style, you'll need to replay some areas until you realise what you're supposed to do but most of the time, it becomes quickly obvious and it's a race between skilful controls and avoiding zombie teeth.
The music and the diary add some depth to the world - it's surprising to see an "indie" game like this have more attention to detail than Left 4 Dead. The story behind the person you're playing is a smart move and the world is very detailed. Even though it's basically a platform run & jumper, seeing zombies in the background waking up and "joining in" is very smart.
Basically, for a Halloween game, this is pretty much spot on. Highly recommended!
